Locko Hall and Park, Derbyshire.
[v836. f75. c5]
John Lowe acquired the Estate in 1747 during the reign of George II and it remains a family home. The name ‘Locko’ is derived partly from the old French ‘loques’ meaning rags, and in the 13th century there was a hospital for lepers, built by the order of St Lazarus, behind the house you see today. Locko Hall is a Grade II* Listed Building which has been beautifully restored over the last 50 years. The stunning parkland was laid out in 1792 by William Emes who landscaped much in the style of Capability Brown. The 300-acre Locko Park estate, situated a mile north of Spondon, has been home to the area's landowners since the 11th Century.
Ownership of the estate and surrounding area is recorded back as early as the Doomsday book of 1086, when the land is recorded as belonging to a Saxon called Stori. Following the Norman Conquest, the Manor of Spondon was one of 210 manors awarded to Baron Henri de Ferriers, a Norman companion of William the Conqueror, for his bravery and support during the Battle of Hastings.
Locko remains predominantly a private estate, although a number of open days are occasionally held and the park grounds are used for a small number of events each year. The grounds are also now used as a popular wedding and corporate events venue.
There is a public right of way through the park grounds, taking visitors past the impressive lake that dominates the grounds. Access close to the Hall itself though remains private.

I didnt edit this photo in anyway, apart from cropping it in the height. Its exactly as I took it. Mind you, it would be very difficult to take a bad photo of such a stunning place!
Do hope you will like it!!
